28 weeks

picture thanks of Hadley... she thinks she's a photographer:)

I can't believe I'm already 28 weeks. I haven't done well at documenting this pregnancy like i was with Hadley's. I feel a little detached, I'm not sure if its because its my second and i know whats happening or what comes next or if it's because of everything else going on in our lives right now.. But with that said we are really excited (and a little scared) about having a little boy... Hadley talks about her baby brother every day, she asks how he is all the time and loves to feel him in my tummy.. As a big sister she knows that she gets to help with bottles and Binky's and changing diapers and she can't wait. I told her she could pick out his first blanket and Binky and she can't wait, only problem is when we look she goes to pink so we have yet to get them..

This pregnancy has been a lot like Hadley's and then a lot worse. Sickness wise this pregnancy has been worse, it took a lot longer to get over not feeling good, i never threw up (thank heavens) but i felt terrible most of the time. i haven't had any cravings this time like i did with Hadley, i just want to eat anything except for red meat. when i was pregnant with Hadley i started not being able to sleep about 4-5 months and it got to the point that my Dr. had to prescribe me ambien,,,, well this little man made me not start sleeping before i knew i was pregnant and nothing helps, it's been a long 7 months and the next 2 are gonna suck so i hope they go fast...

i can't wait to meet this little guy and see if he looks/acts like Hadley. I'm guessing i will have another little Ben, just like Hadley. I hope he has the dark hair like his sister and those beautiful blue eyes and long eyelashes.. but maybe this time there can be a little of me showing to... guess we'll see soon enough

Holly Jolly Christmas Time

Christmas time this year was off,, it never really felt like Christmas and i never got the yeah it's Christmas feeling. Maybe it's because my husband was the grinch this year or scrooge as he put it, maybe its because we are still in limbo as to what we are doing and going but this year i didn't love Christmas or maybe its because i had all my shopping done by Dec. 5 and never got out the month of December.. Don't get me wrong i fully enjoyed Hadley and her love of it and how excited she was about every little thing from opening presents, giving gifts, santa cookies, reindeer food, and best of all her love of snow. So i really will just stop there rather then making this a downer post and just show you what fun we did have....

Papa Turned 57

WOW i didn't realize i was so behind... We sure have a great dad (most of the time) so we had to do it up big for his birthday... His birthday this year happened to fall on Thanksgiving so he has lots of family around to celebrate with him.I had the idea to "heart attack" him, so i asked that all of us kids write 57 reasons why we love him and then we hung all 399 hearts all over the house... he was shocked and still says its the best gift he ever got. it was really fun to watch him read and reacted to the hearts.. the grand kids were so excited to help put the up as well... Kyli also got him a very special gift....... a buffalo hat, he was in heaven and he proceeded to prance (who knew buffalo pranced) around the living room... it was a great day.. Love you dad and Papa

Do you think i he liked it?????

happy 57th birthday dad
